Yes, isn’t it possible to support modem interfaces instead of ethernet cards?

Do you know how may people use these?
Can you buy one with a C64 port adapter?
If there really is demand for this then i can look into it.

>Do you know how may people use these?
I think everyone use it nowdays for c64 wifi projects ,even in our retroclub .info local club we have made some
projects around this fantastic CHEAP module! <10USD

>Can you buy one with a C64 port adapter?
There are mant DIY and ready made boards
Check here for example

>If there really is demand for this then i can look into it.
It would be the most wanted features I rhink.
the only draw back I can think is the speed as this is a serial module/ What speed do you think is right for your online gaming racing project ?

(Also I am thinking of connecti 3 c64 online in an upcoming retro-event we will have in a moth here in our town!)

Combined the ESP-8266 ( or ESP-32 ) and a UP9600 RS-232 Card and might be able to fast enough synchronization with the Server.

May be we can make an esp8266 emulate RR-net ορ ΕΤΗ64 or better 8BIT-DUDE find some time developing some code for esp8266 compatibility
